Getting Setup...
 

8:00am and people are just starting to unload and begin setting up.   The Parkside Hall was actually
a lot larger then I had expected.   Let me tell you, the place filled up very quickly!!!
 

By 9:00am things were starting to take shape.   Many of the coin-ops were delivered, tables were
starting to be setup and the partition walls were being fork-lifted into the hall.    Around 9:30am I
get a rather big surprise, in the form of a big bear of man... Dave Stubben had shown up to say Hi and
it was a real pleasure to spend about 15-20 minutes talking with Dave off-line about many things.   He had
to run, but wanted to stop by and say hi, thanks Dave!!! (Dave Stubben worked as a Fellow in Atari's
Corporate Research Division).

By 10:30am things were starting to really take shape, people were running around like crazy getting
everything unpacked and in place and a few curious on-lookers had snuck-in to take a peak before
the exhbits officially opened.    Sellam stops by and reminds me, "Hey your up next to speak"  Yikes!
I'm not much of a speaker, but off I go to the meeting room to do my speech on Atari (nothing prepared
ahead of time mind you! :-)  I just winged it and did some basic background on the history of company,
did some question and answer sessions, had some fun with the crowd with a Quiz on Atari history and
gave out copies of Atari Arcade Hits #2 for PC's out to the crowd which were donated by Atari Interactive
for the show (Thanks Jayson!!!)

To some of the crowds dismay... AAH#2 wouldn't work on their Altairs or Imsai's :-)
 
 

Lets see more of the show...
